Two Songs

May 23rd, 2009 Roger No comments

These are rather pedestrian renditions of two songs that I often play as warm-ups. They are both acoustic instrumentals. I recorded these when I first got my wonderful Taylor 414e in 2007. They were recorded with a direct connection into an M-Audio Solo FireWire interface to my computer.
